I think this speaks for its self, 9 out of the 10 most popular games on IGN are Halo games.

1 Halo 3
2 Halo 2
3 Halo 3 Legendary Edition
4 Halo 3 Collector's Edition
5 Halo
6 Halo: Combat Evolved
7 Halo: Combat Evolved
8 Halo: Combat Evolved
9 Metal Gear Solid 4
10 Halo 2


Thats very misleading, as those lists change every few hours and are always heavily influenced by game releases and news. When GTA IV is eventually released the top 10 will have just about every GTA game ever made in it for a few days. Anyway with over 1 million copies pre-ordered over in the US its definately going to make large sums of money and top sales charts across the globe. Down under there are over 50,000 copies pre-ordered and many more will just turn up on Tuesday.

I'm getting off of work at 10 and then heading right over to Best Buy to wait for the midnight release. It's gonna be awesome. The first thing I want to do is play 4 player co-op on Legendary. If anyone is interested, then let me know here or message me on Live. My GT is Not Ded Yet.
DigitalDreamer
The first thing im doing is playing the rest of the story and finally finishing the fight.
Shakezulah
So Halo 3 turned out to be a pretty fun game. I started on Heroic though, and I couldn't even get past the first mission, haha. This game is going to give me quite a challenge, and should keep me coming back months and months later.
Jack_of_Blades
I skipped work today in honor of Halo happy.gif
Shakezulah
The day of the release and this thread only had TWO posts? Wow.

I must say, I'm immensely enjoying this game. There are obviously better games that have come out this year, but this is on the top.
Subtemperate
Yeah, me too tongue.gif

Feel free to add me, gamertag: subalot

If I am around I'd be happy to play...
Shakezulah
I played for 14 hours straight yesterday, and went without any food for 12 of them. God, I'm such a loser, haha. This game is addicting.

Everyone interested is too busy playing original.gif
Raptor
I've ordered my copy and I'm still waiting for it to turn up, but I should have it by the weekend if not tomorrow.

Shake, have you been playing live or offline? It would be good to get some games going. Sub, I'll add you the next time I'm on.

My tag is Vaughnn, feel free to add it.
DigitalDreamer
I love this game!I was a little disapointed at the ending,But most of the levels leading up to it were so fun!
Daxter King
Getting my next week. Gamertag is Nightmare22m
Shakezulah
You're gonna love this game. Looking forward to playing with you. Too bad you'll be so far behind, haha.
Raptor
Has anyone been messing about with the forge yet? I can't wait to see it, here are a few gametypes people have made:

QUOTE
Tip [Limiting access]: You can create some interesting game types by blocking off entryways and setting the gravity to high so they can’t be scaled.

Anti Hill: Teams lose point for any players in the hill and gain points for any player outside the hill. Most respawn points are in the hill. The fun twist is that players in the hill have no shields and if you kill them you are doing them a favor. This also encourages betrayals since you want to kill your own teammates who are in the hill in the hope that they will re-spawn somewhere else.

Chiron Assault: Use crates to block off sections of the map keeping everyone underground and there is only one path for the bomb. Best results on sandtrap/Isolation/narrows. Make sure attackers have far superior weapons for balance.

Sky King: King of the hill where the hill is suspended in the air and each team can only earn points with a banshee.

Also expect to see lots of zombie variants. linked-image

I haven't touched forge as yet..... Have played a bit on multiplayer, have played the campaign in drips and dabs (damn work interrupting my day).... I love it so far, and...I think its far more difficult then the last two... I could walk through the last two on normal difficulty half asleep... this one, I have to think about what Im doing....

Yes...i started on normal, and...Heroic, don't think I would want to try it unless I had someone with me for cover lol
Ghø§t
Omg.. halo 3 roooooooooocks!!! It's so awesome.. the new weapons make it so much fun. My friend beat me on all those new maps but I beat him on good ol' Zanzibar. grin2.gif Haha, this will is the game of all games.
Deathbadger11

DigitalDreamer

I highly doubt Halo Wars is going to be the last we see of the Halo universe. I'd like to see another game since I'm not at all interested Halo Wars.

I got the special edition that only comes in an aluminum case.

I still haven't opened it yet as I haven't the time. sad.gif

I hope your correct because id love to see another halo game after HW,Halo games are just so fun and i hope halo wars wont come up short in the 'fun' department.
Shakezulah
I'm sure for people who enjoy RTS games, it will be very fun. But I've never cared much for those, except for the C&C series.

Peter Jackson and his new development team are already working on a new Halo project. Don't really know anything about it apart from that, and that it is going to be released in different episodes, rather than a single game at once. I guess the idea is that you download it through the marketplace and different chapters will be released over a few weeks or months?

Here's the Wiki: Click


Well I got Halo 3 on Friday, it's definetely my favourite of the trilogy. grin2.gif I haven't played much of the matchmaking, but I finished the campaign on Legendary and it was awesome.
DigitalDreamer
I thought the movie was never going to come out,I just hope that its not rushed and that it turns out to be a good flick to watch.
Subtemperate
Its definately the most fun to play of the 3, though number one system link I spent a lot of time on lol

I have already played this more then I probably played halo 2 online.... since ive had it less then a week, that says a lot about its playability.
AztecInca
From the reviews I`ve read the single player campaign at least on Normal last's only around 6 hours. Is this true and as fans of all three games do you find it a satisfactory length, allowing for the story to be appropriately concluded? I`m simply curious to hear what Halo fans think of the single player campaign. I dont own a x-box or 360 however I have played Halo 1 & 2 multiplayer and immensly enjoyed myself however I personally enjoy single player far more than multi-player, so as I`m potentially purchasing a 360 next year to go with my Wii, does the single player campaign justify purchase of Halo 3?
Subtemperate
It depends....I would probably play the single player by myself once I had completed it.... I think it is quite enjoyable, with enough varying gameplay and AI that I would still enjoy it.... However, the fact you can play the campaign with a couple of friends... means I will probably play it over and over again, like I did on halo 2 and 1 on split screen with a friend lol.

I couldn't really care how long it is, as long as it has replay value. I finished one of the metal gear solid games a few years back in 5 hours... and it had no replay ability, so I took it back the same day. This one is nowhere near that....
DigitalDreamer
I like single player and multi player equally since both are very entertaining.
Daxter King
I'd say on normal it is about 9 levels, and the levels are for the most part pretty long. Save the second to last level, they're all really fun to play. 4 player co-op FTW.
DigitalDreamer
Well half of those levels were ok,I wish some were a little better (design wise ) like flood gate,ect.
Daxter King
All were spectacular IMO, cept Cortana.
Rojiva
Well, the thing is, that most fans of halo, bought the retail version the same day, and ran it thru the same day.

If there's a forth halo comming out, then i sincerly hopes that they make it longer, so u get sucked into the world more, bcus if they make a game with 20hours gameplay(2.2times more then its now) then more ppl would probly be satisfied when they finnish it.

Imo to short, they focused to much on online gaming, which is good, but just as i said, twice the gameplay and most ppl would be satisifed, bcus then they would feel like the ending was something they pushed for, not something that they like(ohh well, got lots of energy left, it feels abit short..)

Subtemperate
Did you go through it on Legendary?

DigitalDreamer
Nope,I never beat any of them on legendary.Im only skilled enough to beat it on heroic.
Raptor
It doesn't take skill, just a lot of patience. laugh.gif
Shakezulah
I'm still waiting on some people to play a Legendary co-op game with me, seeing as I don't have any patience to do it on my own.
Daxter King
I'll do it, dont know about anyone else though.
Shakezulah
We could start tomorrow afternoon, if that's alright with you. I work nights this weekend so we'll see about then.
Subtemperate
well if you see me online, give me a shout and i will join you.
Daxter King
Alright, Ill get on after school.
Subtemperate
Well I wont be on till late uk time anyhow, given I work until 930pm.
Raptor
Sub and Shake, I dropped you a friend request each. See you on soon I guess. yes.gif

EDIT: Shake, your Spartan needs to be redesigned. No colour coordination at all. tongue.gif
Shakezulah
Yeah, I know. The color selection is lackluster, though, so it's not my fault.
DigitalDreamer
WIsh i coudl join you guys but i can only get onto my live account when at my uncles,And he always sas hes to busy to let me come over and use the pc. disgust.gif
Enigma wrapped in a puzzle
priest-pwnage

When I get my 360, say goodbye guys. Ima destroy all of you. I was insane in halo 2, so this should be no different. tongue.gif\


Just a fair warning.
Subtemperate
How very proud you must be.... tongue.gif
DigitalDreamer
If hes good enough maybe he can enter the MLG.
Raptor
I just played a few games of Infection last night, it's great! 10x better than Zombies on Halo 2.

We were playing on a variant of Last Resort (Zanzibar) called Last Stand, made in the forge. The base was entirely barricaded up and there were makeshift outposts spotted around the place but the only ammo was right in the center, on the big wheel. So you'd be struggling to fight off the hordes of zombies at your outpost but you're relatively safe, then once the ammo begins to run out you'll have to make your way across the map with a team mate and watch each others' back, to bring back more ammo for your team.

The moments when you're last man standing and you're being pushed further and further back in to a corner while fighting off a constant stream of zombies with whatever weapon you have left are amazing. grin2.gif

The forge changes everything.
